Pinpoint Test E: DTC B1142:29

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Ford Pickup, 2012 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2012 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2012 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. E1 CHECK THE IGNITION SWITCH STATE (IGN_SW_STATE) PID 
    • Ignition ON.
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: BCM DataLogger.
    • Monitor the IGN_SW_STATE PID while turning the ignition switch through all 4 positions (OFF, ACC, RUN and START).
    • Does the PID match each ignition switch position? 
    • Yes  : GO to  E7.
    • No  : GO to E2.
  2. E2 CHECK VEHICLE EQUIPMENT 
    NOTE: The Circuit Deactivation Ignition Module (CDIM) is not installed on vehicles equipped with a gasoline engine and is optional for vehicles equipped with a diesel engine.
    • Verify that the vehicle is equipped with a CDIM.
    • Is the vehicle equipped with a CDIM? 
    • Yes  : GO to E3.
    • No  : GO to  E4.
  3. E3 ISOLATE THE CDIM 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect: CDIMC2500.
    • Connect fused jumper wires between CDIMC2500-14, circuit CDC62 (WH/VT), harness side and CDIMC2500-7, circuit CDC34 (WH/OG) harness side; and between CDIMC2500-1, circuit CDC33 (VT/GN), harness side and CDIMC2500-8, circuit CDC63 (YE/OG), harness side.

    • Monitor the IGN_SW_STATE PID while turning the ignition switch through all 4 positions (OFF, ACC, RUN and START).
    • Does the PID match each ignition switch position? 
    • Yes  : GO to  E8.
    • No  : GO to E4.
  4. E4 CHECK THE ACC CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN OR SHORT TO VOLTAGE 
    • Ignition In ACC.
    • Monitor the IGN_SW_STATE PID with the ignition switch in the ACC position.
    • Does the PID display "Acc"? 
    • Yes  : GO to  E5.
    • No  : If the PID displays "Off" or "Unknown", REPAIR circuit CDC33 (VT/GN) for an open. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. TEST the system for normal operation.

      If the PID displays "Run" or "Start", REPAIR circuit CDC34 (WH/OG) for a short to voltage. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. TEST the system for normal operation.

  5. E5 CHECK THE RUN CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN OR SHORT TO VOLTAGE 
    • Ignition ON.
    • Monitor the IGN_SW_STATE PID with the ignition switch in the RUN position.
    • Does the PID display "Run"? 
    • Yes  : GO to  E6.
    • No  : If the PID displays "Off" or "Unknown", CARRY OUT the ignition switch component test in this section, Refer to OEM COMPONENT TESTING . CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. TEST the system for normal operation.

      If the PID displays "Acc" REPAIR circuit CDC34 (WH/OG) for an open. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. TEST the system for normal operation.

      If the PID displays "Start" REPAIR circuit CDC35 (BU/WH) for a short circuit to voltage. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. TEST the system for normal operation.

  6. E6 CHECK THE START CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN OR SHORT TO VOLTAGE 
    • Monitor the IGN_SW_STATE PID with the ignition switch in the START position.
    • Does the PID display "Start"? 
    • Yes  : GO to  E7.
    • No  : If the PID displays "Off" or "Unknown", CARRY OUT the ignition switch component test. CLEAR the DTC. REPEAT the self-test. TEST the system for normal operation.

      If the PID displays "Acc" REPAIR circuit CDC34 (WH/OG) for an open. CLEAR the DTC. REPEAT the self-test. TEST the system for normal operation.

      If the PID displays "Start" REPAIR circuit CDC35 (BU/WH) for an open. CLEAR the DTC. REPEAT the self-test. TEST the system for normal operation.

  7. E7 CHECK THE BCM ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect: BCMC2280B.
    • Disconnect: Ignition Switch C250.
    • Check the electrical connectors for:
      • corrosion
      • damaged pins
      • pushed-out pins
    • Repair any identified concerns.
    • Connect the BCM and ignition switch connectors and make sure they are seated correctly.
    • Clear the DTCs
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: BCM Self-Test.
    • Is DTC B1142:29 still present? 
    • Yes  : INSTALL a new BCM. REFER to MULTIFUNCTION ELECTRONIC MODULES . TEST the system for normal operation.
    • No  : The customer concern has been corrected. The concern may have been caused by a poor or intermittent connection. TEST the system for normal operation.
  8. E8 CHECK THE CDIM GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Measure the resistance between CDIMC2500-11, circuit GD184 (BK/GY), harness side and ground.
      Fig 2: Measuring Resistance Between CDIM C2500-11, Circuit GD184 (BK/GY), Harness Side And Ground

    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 
    • Yes  : GO to  E9.
    • No  : REPAIR circuit GD184 (BK/GY). CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. TEST the system for normal operation.
  9. E9 CHECK THE CDIM ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR 
    • Check the CDIM electrical connector for:
      • corrosion
      • damaged pins
      • pushed-out pins
    • Repair any identified concerns.
    • Connect the CDIM connector and make sure it seats correctly.
    • Clear the DTCs.
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: CDIM Self-Test.
    • Is DTC B1142:29 still present? 
    • Yes  : INSTALL a new CDIM. REFER to Circuit Deactivation Ignition Module (CDIM) . CLEAR the DTCs and TEST the system for normal operation.
    • No  : The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a poor or intermittent connection. TEST the system for normal operation.
